Anybody else have discs on a torsion bar truck??

Welcome to the board.

I don't have them,... but ECE (Early Classic Enterprises) makes a disc brake spindle for the 60-62 torsion bar trucks.

Part number:
911-6062S (stock height)
911-6062 (drop spindle)

Did you use a kit?? when I built my truck the C20 knuckles wre the closest, just had to ream the top of the lower taper a bit to fit my ball joints.

Yes it was a kit from McGaughys hope I spelled it correctly It came with 2 1/2 dropped spindels, 6 lug disc rotors, calipers, hoses, master cylinder, booster inner and outer berings and porprotion valve

Man the kits came along too late for my build I did my 62 gmc back in the early eighties and it was run what you could find , but the next one is going to have 6 bolt wheels for sure
